Specs

Visiting the Indiedays Inspiration Day I also got a chance to explore the Heritage Swarovski eyewear collection. It’s a new collection by Heritage decorated with Swarovski crystals. As a kid I remember many of my friends getting glasses at around the age of 9-10, and I was so envious! I remember I so wanted a pair because I thought everyone looked so cool in their new specs, and I wanted to be just like them. I think I made up a story of having difficulty seeing the blackboard in school so my parents took me for an eye examination. Needless to say I passed with flying colours and was congratulated on having “exceptional vision”, and I was so upset! My friends who did have poor vision didn’t understand me at all. Which makes sense now.

Later on in life I discovered clear lenses, but it took me years to get a pair as I felt silly wearing a pair of glasses when I didn’t really need them. To be honest I haven’t worn them in years. I still do wish (a little) that I got to wear glasses for real. I have a pair I wear while working, apparently my eyes squint when staring at a computer screen for many hours so they help with that. The pair I have is similar to the ones below, but more narrow. I’m more into this “geeky” big lense and there were a ton of frames I tried when buying mine, but none of them sit well. I have very difficult features for eyewear; high cheekbones, tiny nose, rectangular face.. There are so many sunglasses I would love that just do not go with this face.
